    摘要: A refrigeration cycle apparatus provided with: a compressor; a first heat exchanger; a second heat exchanger; a third heat exchanger; a first heat medium passage connecting a heat medium outlet of the third heat exchanger to a heat medium inlet of the second heat exchanger; a first bypass valve; a second heat medium passage to allow the heat medium flowing out of the second heat exchanger to flow into a second load device; a second bypass valve; a return passage; a flow path switching valve to switch between a first mode in which the heat medium flows into the first heat medium passage from the return passage without passing through the third heat exchanger and a second mode in which the heat medium flows into the third heat exchanger from the return passage.

    摘要: A thermal management system includes a receiver configured to store a refrigerant fluid; a refrigeration system having a refrigerant fluid path that includes the receiver, and at least one evaporator disposed in the refrigerant fluid path. The refrigeration system is configured to receive the refrigerant fluid from the receiver through the refrigerant fluid path. The at least one evaporator is configured to receive the refrigerant fluid and to extract heat from at least one heat load having a specified thermal inertia that is in at least one of thermal conductive or convective contact with the at least one evaporator.

    摘要: The disclosed technology includes devices, systems, and methods for heat pump systems configured to operate in low ambient temperatures. The disclosed technology can include a heat pump water heater system having an evaporator, a first compressor configured to compress refrigerant to a first pressure, and a second compressor configured to compress the refrigerant to a second pressure. The second pressure can be greater than the first pressure. The heat pump water heater system can include a preheater configured to receive the refrigerant at the first pressure and heat water and a condenser configured to receive the refrigerant at the second pressure and heat water. The water can be passed through the preheater before being passed through the condenser.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to control operation of a cryocooler/refrigeration system to provide cryogenic and/or general cooling of a device or sensor system. A cryocooler controller includes a motor driver controller configured to generate motor driver control signals based on operational parameters corresponding to operation of a cryocooler controlled by the controller, and a motor driver configured to generate corresponding drive signals to drive a motor of the cryocooler. The motor driver includes a first stage with a first pair of switches coupled serially between an input of the motor driver and a ground of the motor driver, a second pair of switches coupled serially between an output of the first stage and the ground of the motor driver, and an inductor coupled between the first and second pairs of switches, where operation of each switch is independently controlled by the motor driver control signals.

    摘要: Disclosed are climate systems and methods for control the climate systems. A climate system includes a refrigerant circuit, a first compressor, a second compressor, a first refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, a second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, and a controller communicatively coupled to the first and second compressors. Respective outlets of the first and second compressors are fluidically coupled to the first refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, the first refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger is fluidically coupled to the second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger, and the second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger is fluidically coupled with respective inlets of the first and second compressors. The fluidic connection between the second refrigerant-to-air heat exchanger and the first and second compressors includes a vertical split that is configured to mitigate or reduce the amount of compressor oil that migrates to dormant components.

    摘要: When the anomaly determination mode starts, the controller brings the decompressor into the first decompression amount state, and operates a compressor at a first speed. The controller is configured to store a value of the related physical quantity measured by the detector at a time point at which a first time elapses from a start of the anomaly determination mode, as a first measurement value, and thereafter switch the decompressor to the second decompression amount state from the first decompression amount state, store a value of the related physical quantity measured by the detector after the decompressor is switched to the second decompression amount state from the first decompression amount state, as a second measurement value, and determine that there is anomaly in the refrigerant circuit when a value obtained by subtracting the first measurement value from the second measurement value is larger than a first anomaly determination value.

    摘要: An illustrative example refrigerant system includes a compressor configured to pressurize a refrigerant fluid. The compressor includes a sump portion. A heater is situated to heat at least the sump portion. A controller is configured to selectively operate the heater to apply heat to at least the sump portion while the compressor is off to establish and maintain a superheat condition in the compressor.
